Nice comfortable stay, rooms are nice as well as bar and restaurant, my only criticism would be the strange smell in the room! Smelt almost like a drain was blocked.

Dinner Disappointment
I was not aware the restaurant would be closed in the evening which was a huge disappointment. The receptionist on departure did not seem to take on board how much this spoilt the visit as the hotel was chosen bearing in mind the excellent food reviews. We travel regularly to the area and are seeking a regular venue but for this reason only would not choose Dovecliff Hotel.

Fabulous stay. Can't fault the place for a small hotel with a personal feel ie not corperate. Great wifi, large beds, spacious rooms, value for money, good breakfast and so on

Comfortable stay. Could have done without foreign guests making such a noise at 6.50am on a Sunday morning - very inconsiderate.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
A lovely place that has a calm aura and has retained its Georgian charm. in need of a little more tlc. Such as a toilet seat that fits the toilet, holes in the armchairs in the drawing room. Breakfast good. Dinner needs some adjustments. Need new cutlery and glassware. More expensive tableware really does add to the overall dining experience. Staff very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed my stay and will return.

Pleasant 1 night stay
A pleasant one night stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is being restored to its former glory by the current owners. It really is a lovely building set in its own grounds. We would have loved to explore the grounds - with the orchard and the path to the river Dove, but it was wet, windy and we didn't have the chance. I guess that means we will have to come back!

Lovely hotel with beautiful grounds
We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is spotless and the room was beautiful and extremely comfortable. The grounds were stunning with beautiful walks by the river. The only thing that disappointed us is that we stayed on a Sunday night and the restaurant was shut which we had not been informed of when we booked.

Superb!
Lovely peaceful spot, comfortable beds and nice quality bedlinen and towels. The standout for me was the food - I had the best steak dinner and reasonably priced. Breakfast was waitress service in the restaurant and I was a bit worried it might take a while - but no - super fast and delicious hot breakfast!!

Stay here but not on a Sunday.
Lovely quiet hotel, beautiful location, very clean with comfy beds. Breakfast was underwhelming & could do with a bit more imagination. The restaurant is not open Sunday evenings: we have never before stayed in a hotel that does this & it is very strange & inconvenient. We would however stay here again - but not on a Sunday!

Lovely overnight stay
We stayed for just one night. We found the place very welcoming and accommodating. Dinner was very good and prices for both food and drink very reasonable. Hotel is a little on the tired side but they are working towards updating it. Plenty of hot water, tea & coffee making facilities in the room and good quality bed linen. We would stay here again and recommend it if you are travelling in the area.
